Frankie and Johnny - Various - F&J

Released on 16/11/09 Piecing together the classic murder story with 15 interpretations of the cold hard facts. This vintage song, covered by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, Bob Dylan, The White Stripes, Frank Sinatra and dozens more tells the story of a lovelorn killing but as in all good detective stories the facts differ and these versions gel to make over an hour's worth of entertainment. From trad jazz through to improvisation, itchy hillbilly picking, raw blues, soulful pontification and offbeat fantasies, the tale unfolds.
